Overview

Learn how to create breathtakingly beautiful lace cakes for weddings and romantic occasions with this definitive guide to lace cake decorating techniques from international cake decorating guru Zoe Clark.

Through the detailed step-by-step photography Zoe demonstrates how to create her signature style cake designs, which feature delicate and intricate sugar lace on cakes using a range of sugarcraft techniques.

The 12 stunning cake decorating projects offer Zoe the opportunity to show you how to explore innovative new products such as Sugarveil and Cake Lace, as well as more established techniques for creating lace effects on cakes including applique with fondant icing, and piping and brushwork with royal icing.

The sensational 12 lace cake designs range from classic whites and pretty pastels to bolder Burlesque-inspired colorways. Each main cake is presented alongside a smaller spin-off idea, showing you how the effects can also be applied to cookies, mini cakes and fondant fancies to complement the theme.

Not only does Zoe show you how to recreate the designs in the book, she also reveals how to take your own piece of lace and recreate it in sugar, as well as all the basic techniques you need to bake, level, and cover your cakes for a perfectly polished professional finish.
